Tubes learns how to turn left

Soccer AM presenter Tubes has this week learnt how to ‘left emerge and left turn’, in the words of his RED Driving School instructor Jean-Pierre.

This time accompanied by Northern Ireland football legend Kevin Horlock, who boasted about passing his driving test first time, Tubes had a rocky start to the lesson, stalling on the get-go but quickly making up for it with some smooth turns.

Despite having many things to do at once, such as checking for oncoming vehicles, indicating to show which way he was going and turning the vehicle at a safe speed, Jean-Pierre commented that Tubes did a great job.

Installing confidence in Tubes prior to his lesson, Horlock said, ‘I had a few scary moments in my dad’s car while learning, stalling it behind buses and sliding across (the road) without anyone seeing me – but don’t panic mate, you’ll be alright.’

When asked who the worst footballer driver he knew was, Horlock answered that it was hard to say as they all have blacked-out windows!

Tubes is still hoping to pass his driving test before the European Championships next June so that he can follow the Home Nations all the way to France.

Having one lesson a month, a video of Tubes’ fourth lesson will be posted in four weeks’ time and again this will be announced on our Facebook and Twitter page, so stay tuned!
